Still trying to figure this whole thing out... and working on importing everything to it.

I think I like it thus far, but what are your tips, apps and whatnot I should know about?

I heard the battery life isn't so good but we'll see.

Get the app killer. Have it shut off anything you're not using. It will save you a ton of battery time. Before I did this and found a sweet spot, my battery wasn't lasting long at all. Now I can make it a day and a half, but try to make a habit of charging while I sleep.

If you tweet, get Tweet Deck.

I have a thread in here somewhere when I first got mine. Guys posted a lot of really cool apps for me. See if you can find that thread. LOTS of good shit in there.

For surfing, I found the Opera browser smokes the default one that comes with the droid. At least it does with our slower connection speed over here. Not on 3g yet. Ugh.

App killers have been pointless since Android 2.0
